Bare Acts - Exploring the Margins of Law

Sarai Media has published its 5th online journal - this time entitled "Bare Acts". I will let the Reader introduce itself: "This year, the Reader looks at ‘Acts’ – at instruments of legislation, at things within and outside the law, and at ‘acts’ – as different ways of ‘doing’ things in society and culture. Several essays echo and complement themes that have emerged in earlier readers. Piracy, borders, surveillance, claims to authority and entitlement, the language of expertise, the legal regulation of sexual behaviour and trespasses of various kinds have featured
prominently in previous Readers. This collection foregrounds these issues in a way we hope
can make a series of coherent but autonomous and interrelated arguments."
